Mrs. Pomeroy Surprised

A few of the Good Templars as
sembled together and called upon Mrs.
Pomeroy last Saturday evening and
gave her surprise prior to her depar-
ture for Minneapolis. A few of the
neighbors joined them in the festivities.
Her house was all torn up preparatory
to moving which embarrassed her some
what on the start. She was heard to
say as they entered the house ''my
dishes are all packed just as if she
would have need of them.
A social and pleasant time was had
by all those who were present and
maple sugar wax was disposed of in
large quantities. Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce,
and Mrs. Pomeroy will be greatly miss
ed by their friends.
They took their departure from this
city Wednesday morning. The best
wishes of a host of friends 60 with them.

The blowing out of the west end of
what is known as the Old Rablin Dam
just below the railroad bridge, with
dynamite last Tuesday night, has been
the subject of discussion and gossip
ever since. We have dame rumor as
authority for the fact that it was blown
out at the instigation of Marian L. Ben
sley, as it rested on the East shore of
her property. On the other hand the
Tribune claims to have its information
directly from Mr.. Chandos, however
the fact is evident that about forty
feet of the dam was blown out on said
night.
The cause for this procedure is GER
tainly due to some grevience between
the water power rights of the Marian
L. Bensley and Wisconsin Pioneer
Pulp Companies. Notice was served on
the latter company by the former to re-
move said dam from their lands forth
with which was not needed and the
above results soon followed.
We are sorry that such an unpleasant
feature has arisen between the two
companies in an attempt at arriving at
their own rights in the Wisconsin river
privileges. The community at large are
aware of the fact that large amounts of
money have been expended in build
ing the Bensley pulp mill, improving
and dreging the slough, in order to
have power sufficient to run both Grist
and Pulp mills. After going to this e.
normous expense they found that in low
water they had not sufficient head to
run both mills at full capacity. They
petitioned the State Legislature for a
charter to grant them the privilege of
erecting dam at the head of Big Island
Is inches high SO as to divide the water.
This bill was defeated through the
efforts of the Pioneer Wood Pulp Co.
and is where the trouble first commenc-
ed.
On the other hand the Pioneer Wood
Pulp Co. purchased at great expense
the Hyde Pulp Mill and water power
rights and privileges, and they too
desired their rights in the premises.
They fought the bill on the basis that if
such dam was built at the head of Big
Island, in low water, they would be
short of sufficient head. Here the mat
ter stands to day. AT the present time
there is plenty of water for ALL
We took the pains since the blowing
out Of the dam to call upon Mrs Marian
L. Bensley, also, Mr.. Geo. E. Hoskinson
president of the Pioneer Wood Pulp Co.
both of whom we found to be very
pleasant and agreeable people. We
must say that if the dam was ordered
out by Mrs. Bensley it would have been
polite on her part to have the work
done in the day time instead of night
and use different method than that of
dynamite. On the other hand the Pio-
neer Company should have taken steps
to comply with the notice or learned
the cause for such q step on her part.
1t is the earnest desire on the part of
the good people Of both cities that this

tied and a spirit of concession be adopt
ed on both sides of the controversy.
